Here is my diorama for the "Tank Destroyers" campaign.
The Marder comes from Tamiya. I can say that this kit was an excellent one.
The figures are from Alanger, "German tank crew" kit.
All painted with humbrols. Weathered with oils and pastels.
Waiting for critics..
Hosted by Richard S.

I think it looks fine.
But the tank looks to clean, maby you can give it a wash.
Also the tracks could weathered a bit more, leaves and grass stick on the tracks.
Nice entry!

Very nice composition. What did you use to make the haystack, it's great! I have to agree with Hilbert on the weathering, especially on the inside of the gun sheild. Congrats on your entry!

Hi Hilbert and John,
Thanks for the comments. I agree you both about the weathering. Maybe some more would like ok.
The haystack is made by using white glue and a tone of little pieces from a hemp rope.

Hi.
Good job. I must agree on the weathering - the vehicles name looks to clean. Otherwise great figgies, and very well composed.
Well done.

ultimately this is one great looking dio. Im with the general consensus on this one where the tracks need to be weathered.
